  Speaker 1: Live from the WOR LifeVac studios, the Mark Simone Show.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Well, hey, it's cold out. If you haven't been out yet,
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: it's cold. You need an overcoat. You see President Trump
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: on the airport tarmac there greeting Xi, wearing the big
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: winter overcoat, the cashmere overcoat and gloves. It's cold out.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Got big rainstorm. It mostly will be Saturday into a
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: little bit into Sunday. It'll be maybe not that bad
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: in the city. East of the city is where it
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: could be heavy rain. Netanyahu speaks at the UN today.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: That's going to be a traffic and security nightmare. He's
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: expected to really let everybody have it, tell off everybody.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: It'll be a great moment. He'll expose the terrible, well,
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: not expose, but really go after the anti-Semites, Mamdani and company.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: the president banned, they say he banned the press from
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: the White House. He didn't ban the press. He banned
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: MSNOW and CNN. I don't know if you even call
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: them news networks. And Politico, it's not a news site.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: These are political advocacy sites, left-wing advocacy sites, which is fine,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: but they're not, it's not the, all of the press
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: still allowed in the White House. So they went to
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: a court, a DC left-wing judge. They love to tell you,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: It's a Trump-appointed judge. Trump had nothing to do with
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: picking the judge. Judges are always picked by the senators
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: or the congressmen or locals. And the president approves it.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Very rarely does the president actually look for his own pick.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: So he didn't know the judge when he appointed him.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: And that's always the case with every president. But the
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: judge ruled you can't ban the press. It has to
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: go to trial. But he put in a 14-day hold
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: on the ban. So you can't ban them for 14 days.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: So they showed up today and they were banned again.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Here's Brit Hume. Brit Hume is a very important voice
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: to listen to. The guy's brilliant. Old Washington hand. He
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: knows his stuff. But he said, the White House has
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: generally avoided defying court orders, but it appears to have
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: done just that this morning. Well, it's a little tiny matter.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: It's not like he banned the press. He just banned
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: these couple of kooky left-wing outfits. And he is defying
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: a court order. You're not supposed to do that. But
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: what's the judge going to do about it? What's he
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: going to do? Well, they could serve him with a
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: subpoena or something like that. Hold him in contempt. Good.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Try it. See how that works out for you. You
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: can't even get into the White House grounds. How are
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: you going to enforce it? So this will be an
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: interesting battle to watch. And we told you yesterday, Taylor
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Swift put out a new single. She knows how to
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: create a whole buzz about anything, whether it's a wedding,
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: whether it's a... So the new single had everybody talking,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: breathlessly waiting to hear it. Not much of a melody,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: but a great, great song. Don't know what the hell
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: she's singing, but I'm sure as long as she knows,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: it's fine. So it's Taylor Swift. Millions will be downloading
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: it as we speak. All right, so we'll see. President Xi...
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: is here for a whole day with Donald Trump. Boy,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: you look at the schedule. There's a gift exchanging ceremony.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: This is the thing. You have to give the Chinese
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: a gift. They have to give you a gift. I'm
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: sure it's not going to be anything too exciting, either gift.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: And then they have all sorts of meetings. Where's the
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: president's schedule? Here it is. 10 a.m., greet the president.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: He was greeted yesterday at the tarmac. Now he comes
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: to the White House. And in the South Portico, you
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: have a greeting ceremony. Then Melania has to meet with
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Madame Ping, his wife. Have you seen her? Does not
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: look like a lot of fun, this woman. Does not
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: look like a lot of fun to be with. Then
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: a 1010, a rival ceremony with 1015. They will make remarks. Luckily,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: this is all behind us now. Oh, 1030.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: 1030.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: The President and First Lady participate in a gift exchange
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: with them in the Blue Room. Then they move back
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: to the South Portico at 1040. The President and First
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Lady participate in silent drill platoon review. Who wants to
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: do this all day? It doesn't sound like a lot
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: of fun. 11 o'clock, they participate in a military review.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Who wants to do this all day? They sit there
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: and they watch the military come. What are we doing?
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Showing off for China? They know we got a military.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Take a look at Iran. You could see what we
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: can do. Ah, here we go.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: 1130.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: That's coming up. The president participates in a bilateral meeting
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: with Xing in the Oval Office with Xi, Xi Jinping.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Closed press. A bilateral meeting. It looks like the bilateral
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: meeting is a half hour on the schedule. That's good.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Even for a half hour, you've seen this President Xi.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: What the hell would you talk to him about for
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: a half hour? You could talk about AI. You could
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: try to come to an agreement. Now, the one thing
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: they do want to talk about is it's believed that
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: China is supplying Iran with money, with cash, with weapons,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: keeping them going. You want to get them to stop
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: doing that. That's the main topic. The second topic might
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: be AI guidelines and restraints. But as everybody knows, Whatever
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: is agreed to in the meeting is never going to happen.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: You could get Xi to promise not to keep supplying Iran,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: not to give them weapons. You could make an agreement.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: You could sign an agreement. You could have 20 people
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: sign it. You could sign 10 more agreements. And he's
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: not going to stick to it. That's the history of
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: China and Iran and Russia. They never stick to an agreement.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: So what is the point of this? And also, I
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: don't know if you realize, but Xi is very weak.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: In China. It's not certain that he will continue as
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: the leader of China. A lot of people think he
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: should be removed. He's in a weak position right now there.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: So he has to be very careful. He can't show
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: any weakness with the President of the United States. Okay,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: then they participate. Oh, look at this. A cultural visit
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: to the Smithsonian National Museum of Art. Oh, excuse me.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: It's one wing. It's the Asian art.
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: If I told you right now you're going to go
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: spend the day at the Smithsonian in the Asian art wing,
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: it doesn't sound like a lot of fun. If I
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: said to you, you've got to take Xi Jinping and Mrs.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: Ping and show them around, this doesn't sound like a
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: great day. Then at 3.30, they have a policy meeting
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: without Xi Jinping. He goes back to his hotel or something.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Thank God. You get away from this guy for two hours. Oh,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: then at 7.55 is the state dinner in the East
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Room of the White House, President and the First Lady.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Big state dinner. They've invited all the tech CEOs, the
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Mark Zuckerbergs, the head of Apple, the head of the
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: AI companies. They'll all be there. Mr. and Mrs. Ping
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: will be there. They get to take a picture with them.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Let's say you had a picture with Xi Jinping. What
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: are you going to do with it? Are you going
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: to show that to people? What are you going to
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: do with that? Put that on your Instagram? Here's me
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: and Xi Jinping. Not that exciting. So then he'll leave
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: later tonight and I'll get rid of this guy for
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: a while. UN week, by the way, will drop down
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: a little. Netanyahu's speaking today. That's a big thing. Big
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: security traffic nightmare. And then tomorrow it'll ease up slightly.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: And then this thing continues next week, but without the
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: world leaders. So once the world leaders leave, you won't
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: have the traffic problems. So it'll be a little less
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: tomorrow and Friday. And then over the weekend, these world
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: leaders will start leaving. Now, many of them might stay
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: for a couple of days because they got Broadway shows.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: They got shopping. They go to restaurants. There's a couple
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: of hookers they didn't get to. This is what goes
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: on over the weekend. Then Monday should be much easier.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Next week should be much easier. Still be UN activity,
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: but not these world leaders. And that will help a lot.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: As I mentioned, Prince Harry is here. Whenever they do
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: this UN General Assembly week, they do the Clinton Global Initiative,
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: which is a big shakedown of donors. They get every
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: big star-struck donor to give them a ton of money.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: And they have seminars and panels and meet and greets with,
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: they try to get famous people there. The big name
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: this week is Prince Harry. Prince Harry is there to
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: speak about the dangers of social media. He's going to
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: talk about social media affecting our kids. Now, who the
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: hell is this guy to talk about it when he's
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: got a wife that that's all she does all day
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: is put stuff up on Instagram. That's all these two
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: do for a living is put up social media stuff.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: I don't know who the hell they are to bother
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: anybody about this. The Iranian president spoke yesterday, of course,
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: calling us all kinds of names and He looked terrified.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: The Iranian president, he's currently the president of Iran, but
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: you know, this is Iran. They could take you out
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: and execute you at any moment. He looked so panicky.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: He looked so frightened when he was speaking. Because if
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: it's like one wrong word from this guy, you know,
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: they're going to execute him as soon as he gets back.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: He's the president of Iran, but no life in company
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: would handle this guy right now. In fact, he had
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: life insurance. They even asked for their calendar back. You
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: know who's negotiating with Gaza and all of that is
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Jared Kushner. You ever heard Jared Kushner speak? Take a listen.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: We want to have a Gaza Strip that could thrive
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: and reach its full potential. In order for that to happen,
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: it must be fully demilitarized in that regard, meaning that
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: Hamas has agreed to give up the weapons, but we
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: need to implement that.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: Does he sound a little annoying? I don't know. Do
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: you want to listen to this guy for a whole
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: hour in a meeting?
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: We're building something that is really a platform to enable
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: the Palestinian people in Gaza to finally focus on improving
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: their livelihoods and improving their lives and for those who
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: want to live in peace to give them a chance
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: to do so.
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: Now, these old Washington hands or the Democrats or the
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: old congressmen, they'll say, well, he should not have Jared
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Kushner and Steve Witkoff. This should be a professional State Department,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: professional foreign policy people. They should be doing the negotiating. Well,
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: they're not that effective, those guys. You know, they got
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: briefing books and they look effective. The most important thing
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: taught to Trump when he first ran, first big meeting
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: was Henry Kissinger. And there's nobody knows this stuff better.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: And he said, the one thing Kissinger told him is
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: when it comes to foreign policy, don't let the State
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Department handle it. And when it comes to this stuff,
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: don't listen to these idiots with their briefing books. Don't
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: let them negotiate. And he said, do it yourself. So
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: that's what that's all about. And Kissinger's right. Look at
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: all the professional negotiators and diplomats and State Department foreign
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: policy experts. For all their years of these negotiations, Nothing
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: ever changed. Nothing ever got settled. Nothing. It never made
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: any difference. Now, the other thing is, does it matter
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: who's negotiating? No matter what agreement you make with China,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: no matter what agreement you make with Palestinians, no matter
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: what agreement you make with Iran, nobody sticks to it ever.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: There's never been one single case where they've ever stuck
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: to any of these agreements. So what's the difference whether
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: you come up with? You know, a lot of people,
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: they got rid of cable. They used to call it
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: cut the cord, cutting the cord. The cable bill was crazy.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: It was $ 200, $ 300. You'd pay a fortune for your
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: cable TV. So a lot of people cut the cord.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: They got rid of that, and they went to streaming
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: because you could just, $ 8, you got streaming. Well, it
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: was $ 8. Then it's $ 12. Then it's $ 15. Then it's $ 20.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: And now it turns out you can't have one streaming service.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: You've got to have six of them. You know, I
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: guess you could just have Netflix, but you got to
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: have Paramount. You got to have Disney. You got to
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: have Hulu. And they keep raising the prices. Everybody's all
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: upset now. This is if you want the ad-free Disney.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: It's going up $ 2.
• 12:58
  Speaker 7: 50.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: It's going to be $ 21. 50 a month. And Hulu increasing
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: $ 2. 50 a month. It's now going to be $ 22 a month.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: So if you add up the five or six or
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: seven streaming things you got, you're right back to the
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: $ 200 you were spending on cable. You could watch it
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: with the ads. That's a lot cheaper, which I recommend,
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: by the way. Hey, watch a couple of commercials. It's
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: not going to kill you. Hulu is good for certain things.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: If you want live TV, you got to pay a
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: lot more for that. That's extra. But Hulu live TV,
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: put that in your computer, in your phone. You can
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: watch live television live. All your favorite channels, networks. You
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: can watch Fox. You can watch Channel 5. You can
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: watch MSNBC right in your phone wherever you are. It's
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: a great thing to have. Hey, we got the phones
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: fixed from yesterday. They're actually working. We can take some calls.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: 800-321-0710 is the number. We'll take some calls next. We
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: always look for new callers.
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: 800-321-0710.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: The Mark Simone Show, now 9 till noon weekdays on 710WOR.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go to Lucia in Westchester. Lucia,
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: how you doing?
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: Hi.
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: Very well, thank you. I am a new listener, and
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: I enjoy your show until, you know, sometimes.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: Why?
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: A lot of your callers you make fun of.
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: You interrupt them.
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: You say you don't know what they're talking about.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: I think it's very condescending and rude. Why?
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: It's not funny.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: What a pain in the ass you are. I said
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: new callers, not callers that give us a hard time.
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you've got to screen your callers a little bit.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: No, we don't screen. We don't screen. No, if you
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: don't know what you're talking about, I have to tell you.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: If you're taking too long, I got it.
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: No, it's not nice. Yes, yes.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: It's nice. You're wrong.
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: You know what? If you did that to me once,
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: I'd never call you again.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: You got to do it sometime. No, it's not everybody. Hey,
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: the people I do that to call back a million times.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Have a little sense of humor, Lucia. Where are you
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: in Westchester?
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: All right, all right.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: Where are you in Westchester?
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: Where are you in Westchester?

  Speaker 4: I'm in Katona.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: Well, see, already you got a sense of humor. Katona.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: It's very nice. A little out of the way, Katona,
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: but it's very nice there.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: It's Bedford. It's beautiful. I love it here.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: It's beautiful there, unless you want to do something. Otherwise,
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: it's a little.
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: Well, we don't want to do anything. We don't want
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: to see people. We want to be alone.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Well, you've got the right place for it. You're right
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: near that Martha Stewart.
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: Well, she's not here anymore.
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: She left.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, thank God.
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: Thank God. Yeah, we hated her.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: She makes you look like a lot of fun. I'm kidding.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: It's a joke. It's a joke. See, now you laugh.
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: All right, all right, all right. Be nice to people,
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: especially old people. We feel bad if you're not nice.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: Oh, just have a little sense of humor. Keep listening,
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: and you'll see if you get used to it. Let's
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: go to Linda in Long Island. Linda, how you doing?
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: Hi, Mark. I just wanted to agree with you. I
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: can't believe that. Taylor Swift, disgusting.
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: It's not disgusting.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: I couldn't believe it's real. It's a little boring. It was.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: It sounded like a noise in front of her trying
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: to sing. I can't believe she conned people out of
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: a billion dollars. It's not disgusting.
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: At least a billion.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: Okay, you'd rather have Viti Gourmet, is that it?
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: No, I'd rather have Whitney Houston.
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: That's a real singer. She's disgusting, Taylor Swift.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: She's not disgusting. It's a little boring.
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: She's a con artist.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: She's not a con artist. It's a little boring.
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: Yes, she is.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: It's a little boring. Listen to this. Third, fourth time,
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: it starts to grow on you.
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: That singing? That's really? Really? I can't believe that.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: I would never go near that by that.
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: That is ridiculous.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: Did you like Whitney Houston? Wasn't she great?
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but, okay, I want you to wait about a
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: month and a half.
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: Compare them.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: You're going to hear this on the radio 50 million times.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: Then you'll love it. You'll be humming it. I'll never
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: love it. You're going to have to play this at
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: your birthday party. Okay, let me hear you do it.
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: All right, I can't.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: Not anybody can do it.
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: All right, you got me. I can't do that.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: Oh, I could, but not on the air.
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: I can do it alone.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: All right, Linda, give it a chance.
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: All right, we had fun.
• 17:38
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: All right, take care. Let's go to Ralph in Manhattan. Ralph,
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: how are you doing?
• 17:44
  Speaker 7: Hey, Mark, you know, you talked about the Carnegie Deli
• 17:48
  Speaker 7: a few days ago and the Broadway Danny Rose that
• 17:51
  Speaker 7: about mid 80s. Was that not a fantastic time during
• 17:55
  Speaker 7: that time when they featured the great Carnegie Deli and
• 17:58
  Speaker 7: and Woody was walking with his guy that played the
• 18:02
  Speaker 7: Italian singer in that movie was.
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: I think his name was. Apollo Forte, if I'm not mistaken.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: That's right, Nick Apollo Forte. Hey, everybody go back and
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: get the movie Broadway Danny Rose. Watch it again. The
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: Carnegie Deli is one of the stars of the movie. But,
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: you see, in those days, the front table was like
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: the celebrity table. Whatever big stars were in town would
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: all meet at the celebrity table there. I used to
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: go there all the time, sit there. At, like, 11
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: o'clock at night, everybody would show up after their shows.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: And they would just tell stories and talk show business stuff.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: In the movie Broadway, Danny Rose, they show you that
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: table with a whole bunch of real comedians talking, and
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: that's where the movie takes off from. But go watch
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: the movie. You'll love it. It stars the Carnegie Deli. Broadway,
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: Danny Rose. Go watch the movie. Let's go to Vincent
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: in Brooklyn. Vincent, how are you doing?
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: Good morning, Mark. Mark, I'm okay. That Taylor Swift song
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: starts to grow on you like a herpes wash.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: Okay, it's not Jerry Vale, but take a listen. Tell
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: me you don't like this.
• 19:07
  Speaker 6: You can't imagine Jimmy Roselli singing that?
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: Well, no.
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: Jimmy Roselli was singing it. Every other word would have
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: to be bleeped out.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: Okay, but picture Al Martin.
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: Jeff Beck or Eric Clapton, she is not on the guitar.
• 19:34
  Speaker 6: On a more serious note, Jessica Tish is doing a
• 19:38
  Speaker 6: wonderful job keeping all these nut job anti-Israel, all these
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: Jew haters in line at Dag Hammarskjöld Plaza. Given that,
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: me personally, I believe at the end of next week,
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: when all these dirtbags go back home to their hookers
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: in black robes in these Arabic countries, But Jessica Grutish,
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: my opinion, should hand in her resignation.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: I was with her yesterday. We had a big lunch.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: In fact, you could see pictures of it on my Instagram.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: Go to MarkSimoneNYC on Instagram. And I said, we all
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: have two words for you. Don't leave. And she said,
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: I'm not going anywhere. I'm just getting started.
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: Mark, I believe she would make a great mayor. and
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: i i'm saying this because i don't want julie menon

  Speaker 2: said i'm not going anywhere i'm just getting started so Hey,
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: when we come back, the great, brilliant economist Steve Moore
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: will be with us next on 710WOR.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: Mark Simone on 710WOR.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: Well, we turn now to the brilliant economist Steve Moore,

  Speaker 2: best-selling author. You should get his latest book, The Trump
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: Economic Miracle. You'll learn a lot from that book. Also,
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: he runs the Committee to Unleash Prosperity. They put out
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: the best daily briefing. It's great news and analysis. Go
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: to UnleashProsperity.com. It's free. It'll come right to your email.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: Just sign up for the hotline. Go to UnleashProsperity.com. Steve Moore,
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: how you doing?
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: Hey, Mark. Good to be with you. Thanks for having me.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: Hey, we got to do something about the high price
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: of diesel, mostly caused by the Ukraine-Russia war. President wants
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: to ban exports. That's not the way to do it,
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: is it?
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: No, it's not going to work. And that will actually
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: make gas prices higher. and it won't really bring down
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: diesel prices. So bad idea. But, you know, politicians, when
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: they face a crisis, they always have to do something, right?
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: It's a bad idea to have to. So there's a
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: better idea, by the way. One is to, you know,
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: let's get that Strait of Hormuz open, which, by the way,
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: if that happens, we're going to have the best booming
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: economy ever because everything else in the economy is going
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: so great. It's just the gas prices are so high,
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: people are angry. And, you know, rightfully so. So I've
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: got a couple ideas. One is, you know, I've recommended
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: to the White House, let's suspend the gas tax, the
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: federal gas tax, until the price of gas goes back down,
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: you know, below, say, $ 3.
• 22:27
  Speaker 6: 50 a gallon.
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: That would save us about $ 0. 20, $ 0. 25 a gallon if
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: we did that. And the second thing I would do, Mark,
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: is I would, you know, there's all these blending requirements,
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: you know, for the reason we have refineries is they,
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: you know, they pump out of the oil that's called
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: crude oil. then it has to go to the refineries
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: and they have to add in ethanol and corn and
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: all these other, you know, stuff. And that adds about,
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: you know, 30 cents a gallon to the, to the
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: price of a, a gas at the pump. So why not, um, uh,
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: you know, at least sub temporarily, but why do we
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: have to put corn in our tank?
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: Was that because of, that was because.
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: Of, you know what the answer to that is exactly
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: what I have a two word answer to my own question. Uh,
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: Chuck Grassley, and by the way, I like Chuck Grassley.
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: I've known him for 40 years, but he's the 92-year-old
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: senator from Iowa, and he's the one guy who keeps
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: the ethanol subsidy alive because it's a big deal in Iowa.
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: But the other thing is we haven't built the infrastructure
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: we need in this country for our energy revolution. Remember
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: the Democrats blocked all the pipelines that we need to
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: get the oil from Texas to the Northeast. from North
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: Dakota to the Northeast. And then, you know, we need refineries.
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: We need LNG terminals. And the left has just blocked
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: all of those. And so that makes gas at the
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: pump a lot more expensive as well.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we have so much oil, more than we could
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: ever use. But we haven't built a refinery since the 70s, right? Yeah.
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: So it's like 1979 or something. Don't quote me on that,
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: but it's been a long time.
• 24:05
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: Hey, Steve Moore, I love reading the hotline every day.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: It's free. You can just go to UnleashProsperity.com, sign up.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: So states that are– everybody's leaving here, leaving California. What
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: states are doing the best getting people moving into them?
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so we just published that data. It was in
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: our hotline today. So if you look at the number of–
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: as a percentage terms, which states have lost the most
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: and gained the most, the states that have gained the
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: most are states like Idaho– Florida, obviously, it's a big state,
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: but even as a big state, it's gained a lot
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: of percentage population. Another one is Utah. All those people
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: in California are leaving for Utah and Idaho and Montana.
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: By the way, I'm not sure the people in Montana
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: and Utah are so excited about California coming in. But
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: on the East Coast, not surprisingly, New York and New
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: Jersey keep bleeding people, and they tend to be the
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: most successful people, the higher-income people who pay the tax revenues.
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: so it's a big problem and in fact in terms
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: of money the states that have lost the most money
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: can we know the incomes of these people and uh...
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: and so it's a uh... it's a big uh... you
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: know it's a big deal that uh... they've lost so
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: many you know millionaires and billionaires i mean if you
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: say oh we hate millionaires and billionaires guess what they
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: leave that's why you know these talks by mandami and
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: then california a millionaire tax billionaire tax debt you know
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: tax them they'll just leave and they do and they've
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: a lot of them have left already.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: But the problem with living in Idaho is you have
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: to live in Idaho.
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: I don't know. I was just in Sun Valley for
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: about a three-day conference about a week ago. I've got
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: to say, it was one of the most beautiful places.
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: By the way, Idaho real estate prices have tripled in
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: the last 10 years because so many people are moving in.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: And, hey, you wrote about Colorado. They've got a millionaire's
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: tax that is, what, it's totally backfiring?
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: Well, you know, Colorado is one of the, you know,
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: I've written a lot about Colorado. It's the one blue
• 26:07
  Speaker 5: state that really works. You know, they've had a really
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: good governor there who's a Democrat, but, you know, a
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: pro-growth Democrat. And they have a tax and limitation measure.
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: And they have a flat tax. I think it's 4.9%.
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: And so Colorado has done very well. And now they
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: want to get rid of their flat tax and raise
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: it from 4.8% to 8.4%. And they want to get
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: rid of their spending limitation measure. So they're going wacko
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: in Colorado. And that will be on the ballot in November.
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: So we'll see if the Colorado voters, you know, vote
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: for Soak the Rich because Soak the Rich never works.
• 26:53
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: Well, hey, you had this great story today. You know, A.I.,
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: A lot of people are against it. I can see
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: why the news media is against it. It is killing
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: their business on their websites, isn't it?
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: This is a really amazing story, and I'm just starting
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: to learn about it, but it could completely change the
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: way media works, you know, forever. And it could do
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: great damage to what I call the legacy medias, which
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: are the CNNs of the world and the Washington Post
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: and the New York Times, etc., because the what's happening now,
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: do you know, do you get chat, do you use
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: chat GPT on your, like when you do, if you
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: notice when you do Google searches now, it immediately drives
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: you to, you know, uh, you know, in other words,
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: instead of listing all the, you know, things, it, it,
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: it drives you to pick, you know, two or three
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: major ones. And then what people are doing is they're,
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: it's instead of like going to the New York times
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: website and, you know, just per using all the stories, uh,
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: they'll just look at the one story. So what's happening
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: is that the number of views for these online publications,
• 28:01
  Speaker 5: like the New York Times and Watch Post, has fallen
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: by 40%.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: And that's how they get their revenues, right? They get
• 28:08
  Speaker 5: their revenues from the ads. You know, when you read
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: a New York Times story, they put the ads in there. Well,
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: guess what? Nobody's going to buy ads if the people
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: are viewing the story. So this could cause a revolution, right?
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: and uh in how ai is changing the way we
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: gain information and it could put new york times and
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: washington post out of business i know that you'd be
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: very sad about that mark well.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: It could also hurt the new york post too because
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: uh yeah right.
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: No but it's affecting all of the kind of those
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: new york post too and so i don't know how
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: this is going to turn out but um you know
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: ai is is uh is really dramatically changing things just
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: in the last few months yeah.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: Hey uh the The president spends the whole day with
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: President Xi, China. What's the point of this? Whatever agreement
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: you make with China, they're never going to stick to it.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: So why even bother?
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: You know, I'm totally skeptical, too. And, you know, I
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: love Donald Trump, and he certainly knows the art of
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: the deal. But this is, you know, we know now
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: we can't trust China. We know that their main goal
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: is to knock off America as the uh... as the
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: you know the world economic superpower and so you know
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: it's like remember the famous story of khrushchev you know
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: in the soviet union uh... when he came back from
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: his visit to the united states and he said we
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: will bury you Well, that's what, you know, let's face it,
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: that's what President Xi wants to do. He wants to
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: bury us. So, you know, the most dangerous snakes are
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: the ones that smile at you before they bite you.
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: And that's what President Xi is. He's a snake, and
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: they're out to get us. So, and look, Trump is
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: smart enough, I hope, to, you know, see through this,
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: you know, that... You have to treat them. And by
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: the way, Trump, remember, Trump got elected in Perkins River, China.
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: We have to do that, China.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: Well, we'll see what happens at the end of the day.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: But Steve Moore has a great book out called The
• 30:10
